NEW YORK (JTA) - A delegation of 23 national labor leaders met Nov. 3 for 40 minutes with Daniel Moynihan, the U.S. Ambassador to the UN, to denounce the adoption of the anti-Zionist draft resolution by the UN Third Committee and Uganda's President Idi Amin. The delegation, headed by Harry Van Arsdale, president of the New York City Central Labor Council, AFL-CIO, said that Oct. 17, the day the anti-Zionist- draft was adopted, "will live in history as a day of infamy." Van Arsdale, in a statement delivered on behalf of the 23 labor leaders, excoriated the UN as "the sinkhole" with "113 dictatorships and totalitarian regimes (that) far outnumber the two dozen remaining' democracies." Continuing, he declared: "How dare the majority in the UN condemn Zionism as racism wh' t they know that' in Israel every resident,' of every race, color and creed has equal rights as a citizen of the state? Israel has almost a half-million Arab citizens, full participants in the building of their new society. What Arab state accords its minorities such status, such participation in national life? Isn't it hypocrisy when Africans
surrender to Arab oil blackmail and kiss the feet of those who sold them into slavery? It wasn't the
Americans or the Jews who started the African slave trade; it was these same Arab potentates."

U.N. Passes Anti-Zionist Resolution; Local Leaders React With Denouncements
Despite the growing opposition in the U.S. and other-Western nations (some of which is described in other articles in this week's Chronicle) the U.N. General Assembly voted 72-35 with 32 abstentions Monday night to approve a resolution declaring that Zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination.
After the vote, U.S. Ambassador Daniel Patrick Moynihan told the Assembly: "The United States rises to declare before the General Assembly of the United Nations and before the World that it does not acknowledge, it will not abide by, it will never acquiesce in this infamous act." ■■:>-'■■.,■■'"■■.

Leader Of Reconciliation Group Calls For Palestinian State, Economic Confederation
By Bill Cohen Chronicle Special Reporter
/
A moratorium on Palestinian terrorism, 'the creation of a politically- independent Palestinian state, and the formation of a Mideast economic confederation are the keys to peace in the Mideast, envisioned by Israeli sociologist Joseph Ben-Dak.
Ben-Dak, the Director of the Israeli- Peace Research Society and one of the co- founders of the Foundation for Ar a briar a eli Reconciliation, was brought to Columbus last week by the: Israel Action Committee.
In an interview with The Chronicle, Ben-Dak said the Palestinians must do three things before Setting up an independent entity on the West Bank.
First, he said, there must be a two or three year moratorium on violence, "and that will have to be enforced by the Palestinians
within their rank and file."
More moderate factions within the Palestine Liberation Organization "will have to do everything they can to stop the rejectionists (the most radical Marxists) from committing violence," he said.
Ben-Dak noted that although their numbers are small, a few members of the P.L.O. may be leaning toward the idea of a moratorium on /terrorism. He explained that the most prominent is Sabri Jiryis, Head of. the Israeli Department of the P.L.O.
"One of ' the most important things about expecting people to change is to be very explicit about what you are asking them to do," Ben-Dak said, explaining his call for a moratorium on terrorism for a specific time period.
The second pre-condition for the creation of a Palestinian state, in Ben-
Dak's eyes, is the establishment of a Palestinian government-in- exile. Ben-Dak stressed this would have to be a group of leaders that could represent
